Dear Queenie,
There is this friend I have had since we were in high school, but since she got a new boyfriend she never has time to get together with me. She says she wants to stay in touch but she almost never answers my calls or replies to my e-mails.
Queenie, should I just give up on her?—Miss my friend
Dear Miss my friend,
It could be your friend is so captivated by her new boyfriend that she just does not have time or energy for anyone else. But it also could be that he is a controlling type who does not want to let her have contact with anyone but him.
So, be patient, give her time to settle into this new relationship and let her know that you will be there for her if she needs you. Then wait and see what happens.
